Career Point College Borrower Defense Claims:
What Former Students Need to Know

For many former Career Point College students, the dream of building a career turned into years of student loan debt, unanswered questions, and a school that suddenly shut its doors.

If you attended Career Point College in Texas or Oklahoma and took out federal student loans, you may have grounds to apply for Borrower Defense to Repayment, a federal program that can eliminate qualifying federal student loan debt when a school engaged in misconduct or deceptive practices.

But here's the catch: many former students still don't realize they may qualify.

Why Career Point College Is Under Scrutiny

Career Point College abruptly closed in October 2016 after the U.S. Department of Education restricted the school's access to federal student aid funds following reported financial aid violations. Federal officials later issued a closure fact sheet specifically addressing relief options for affected students.

Former students filed multiple lawsuits after the closure, alleging:

• Misuse of federal financial aid funds
• Failure to properly distribute grant money
• Pressure to take on high interest private loans
• Misrepresentations regarding tuition costs
• Financial aid irregularities and record-keeping issues
• Sudden school closure that disrupted students' education and career plans

More than 50 former students filed lawsuits seeking damages exceeding $1 million after the school shut down without warning.

Additional reports alleged that students were encouraged to take out loans ranging from approximately $19,000 to over $30,000, while some claimed they never received grant funds intended for their education.

Career Point College and Sweet v. Cardona

One of the strongest indicators for potential Borrower Defense eligibility is that Career Point College was included in Exhibit C of the Sweet v. Cardona settlement agreement, a landmark federal settlement involving schools that generated significant borrower misconduct claims.

While attendance at a listed school does not automatically guarantee approval, inclusion in Exhibit C is often viewed as an important factor when evaluating potential Borrower Defense claims.

Evidence Former Students May Want to Include

If you're preparing a Borrower Defense application, you may want to reference:

• The school's October 2016 closure
• Federal financial aid violations reported by school leadership
• Student lawsuits alleging deceptive financial practices
• Allegations involving misuse of grant and loan funds
• Reports of students being encouraged into costly financing arrangements
• Inclusion in Sweet v. Cardona Exhibit C

Every claim is unique, and supporting evidence should be tailored to your individual experience.
